Soundscan sets very strict regulations on how record sales by an artist at a venue can be counted into actual retail sales numbers. Participation in Soundscan is OPTIONAL by the artist/label. - They cannot be reported by the artist or his merchandise manager. - Record labels may report the sales of their artists at venues that the artists appear if they register with Soundscan and meet all appropriate criteria. - The label must have been in business for at least 2 years. - There must be more than one artist being reported under the reporting label. - There is a $500.00 annual fee to report venue sales. - At the end of sales at a venue, the merchandise manager verifies sales with a representative from the venue and obtains proper documentation from the venue supporting the numbers. Those numbers are turned in to the record label for reporting to Soundscan. - The label reports weekly sales (as do all other accounts) based on the venue reports received from the merchandise manager. These numbers are rolled into the weekly sales numbers Soundscan publishes regularly to their clients. ACCORDING TO STEPHEN, OUR RESIDENT MERCHANDISE GURU (i.e. tour merchandise manager) ..... Stephen does do the necessary paperwork at each venue and Taylor's sales are reported to Soundscan weekly by Arista. SO KEEP BUYING THOSE CDs AT THE VENUE ..... |
